name it

This is some of my favorite yarn:I just love the texture of suede. Years ago, I was into making triangle wraps out of it and since then have been thinking about something else to use it for.I had two balls left in my stash and decided on a cowl. Super easy and quick for a beginner or an advanced knitter.

Yarn: 2 balls Berroco Suede Needles: size 15

Cast on 40 stitches using the provisional cast on. Knit in garter stitch until piece measures 52" or until all yarn is used, ending with a RS row and leaving a 12" tail. Remove waste yarn from cast on edge and place live stitches on another needle. Using the kitchener stitch graft together both sets of live stitches to form loop. Weave in ends. Wear!I'll write up an appropriate pattern and post it over in the sidebar and in ravelry. However, my mind is having a hard time thinking of a name. I'd love some help from your creative minds... please! I'll be sure to give you credit.

it definitely reminds me of straw, so I'd suggest 'winter straw' for the pattern :)

I have to admit, I normally stick with plain old wool, sometimes with silk or other fun fibers. I don't think I'd pick up this yarn at the store if I saw it, but your design and finished product just made me put it on my wish list :)

Seeing this yarn always makes me smile! I used it for one of my first knits - a hot pink string bikini for my honeymoon!!! But then I used it again for a bomber looking hat for my daughter and absolutely loved it! That is a super cute pattern - too bad I only have one ball of this color left!

Oh, that is too funny. I am using the EXACT yarn to make a Coachella. (Not for myself... I don't do sleeveless at my ripe old age. I mean, not if I don't want people to cover their eyes and scream when they see me. So it's for my LYS. The owner is hoping to move some of the vast quantities. I'll show her your pattern, too!)

I would call the pattern Simon as in Simon Cowel - don't know if you have heard of him but he is fairly famous over here in England for the x factor and I think he will be doing the new x factor in America soon too.

Poor joke I know - It was my husband's idea.

Never knitted using different fibres before will have to experiment a bit one day in the not to distant future. :)

I love the look of that cowl! I also love knitting cowls. It seems the majority of my pattern perusing time of late has been for berets and cowls. This makes me wish I had some Berroco suede yarn so I could cast on immediately!

I'm terrible at naming things, so not much help here. The only thing I can even think of is 'Pursuede Cowl'.

I love it. I just made a big warm fluffy cowl that wraps twice. It was great in the cold weather. I like this delicate cowl you've made. It seems it is a piece that will work in several seasons. A name? How about "Semolina"? Thought process: Saw your cowl and thought of wheat, then harvest, then took a look on Wikipedia and saw: "The yellowish color of durum wheat and semolina flour made from it...". And then there is the fact that the word "semolina" just sounds nice. : )

Love it! I've never knitted with suede, but consider my opinion now swayed. (That was awful.) In all honesty, I can't get enough of it.Though I've no original name to submit, I have to cast my lot with those who've been suggesting "coffee" themed names. You want a cowl to make someone feel warm and cozy, right? Stands to reason the name should do the same.
